There are thousands of treatments for hair loss but only two are scientifically proven to work; rogaine and Proscar. They both work for 80% of people who use them; although they work in different ways they both have the effect of slowing down your hair loss so that it’s negligible; they can both regrow miniaturising hair. The most recent scientific research shows that of the two drugs Proscar is more effective in saving and regrowing quality hair but research has also proven that when used together they are more effective than either on their own.

However follicles that have died have gone forever. Only a hair transplant or a scalp reduction can help you if you have lost hair for good.

All drugs have side effects and these two drugs are no different from any other pharmaceutical product. In the case of Proscar and Regain side effects are rare and they dissipate when you stop taking them.

Like all other drugs they only work while you take them; drug therapy stops the male hormone (DHT) attacking susceptible follicles, but you will always have DHT and you will always have susceptible follicles so if stop taking the drugs your hair loss will revert to its pre-treated pattern.
